Title: Shopping Carts and the E-Aisles
By: Author: Tom Antion
Have you ever gone to the store and thought you only needed a
few things so you didn't grab a cart? The next thing you know
your hands are full and groceries are crashing everywhere making
a big mess. If only you had gotten a cart. Shopping carts are
not necessary on your website as long as you do not mind doing a
little extra work (just like carrying all those groceries) and
processing each order individually. If you choose to forego
having a shopping cart on your site, it is important to remember
you will have to calculate all the taxes and fees yourself. This
delay will ultimately kill your sales.
The system I use allows you to enter your credit card number,
buy the product, and receive authorization all in about fifteen
seconds. It will also send a confirmation e-mail to whoever is
shipping the product, without me touching a thing. A system like
this is perfect for someone who travels a lot and does not have
time to sit around entering numbers and expiration dates. The
shopping cart will help to eliminate many of those problems and
will boost your sales. This is a fast-paced world, if people
have to wait even an hour to buy, they probably won't.
